Snip-n-Tuck Keeper  4

Everyone tries to make a better mouse trap and I think I've made one. 

The first pic to the right shows how the pouch portion is attached with Velcro.  This way if you use the keeper to hold your snippets, it can be removed from the magnet without removing the magnets and scissors from the frame.

The second picture shows how I use my Snip-n-Tuck Keeper; I put my scissors on the top magnet and my hooks in the pouch.  There is a heavy piece of canvas sewn into the bottom to prevent the hooks from penetrating the wool.  The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper is $24 plus shipping. 

I am always creating more styles, colors and shapes, please e-mail me if you wish to see a picture of the ones I have in stock now.

 The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper has a Velcro  attachment.      The magnets and Velcro are strong      One magnet goes below the backing and one on top.       enough to hold a few hooks inside

  This is another version of the Snip-n-Tuck which is not removable with Velcro.  It is two layers thick in order to make a more substantial pouch using vintage cloth and lace to be decorative.  Again there is a piece of canvas sewn so that the hooks cannot penetrate thru.
